“Barrett and I are so blessed and grateful for the little one on the way. We’ll have our hands full. Three’s the new nine!”

This new arrival would join big brothers; Rhys, 1, and Griffin Thomas, 3.

On New Year’s Eve, Joe and NKOTB will help ring in 2011 as one of the performers on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest. This summer, he will head out on tour with his group and the Backstreet Boys.

Best of luck to the happy couple. Hopefully the new addition arrives before dad has to leave on tour!
